lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party is very concerned about the evermore authoritarian developments in Russia, linked to the person of President Putin. The sudden dissolution of the government is further illustration of this. Democracy appears to be in retreat, instead of the reverse being the case, and the presidential election resembles more and more a farcical one-man show. The terrible acts of cruelty in Chechnya must cease, and the EU must act in such a way as to help bring about a solution as soon as possible. There are huge needs in the environmental area, and we regret the fact that Russia is unwilling to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. The EU needs to have a strategic partnership with Russia. We wish, are able and ought to play our part, but such a partnership is not unconditional and cannot be dictated by Moscow. In this area, the ball now lies largely in Putin’s court. I also wish to thank Mr Belder for a very constructive report, which we can without difficulty vote in favour of."@en1
